RELATION OF THE Soil 70 WATER
Soils often retain for a long time more
water than is good for crops, and when
this dries away they will be found to he in
many cases the driest of all soils, except,
perhaps, blowing sands, which can hardly
be called soils. Other soils are perpetual
ly wa%ter-soaked, while others are wet in
the spring and in wet seasons, but though
cold and late, are, nevertheless, tillable IN
favorable years. All such soils need to
have the water artificially removed. The
water may come solely from the rains !; it
may come from rain and water flowing
from higher ground, or it may come up in
springs from beneath the land itself. If it
comes from other ground, the source should
be cut off by bitches and the water con
Quoted away If it comes from springs,
they should he found and the water from
them conducted away either in open ditch
es OF in deep-laid covered ones, which are
better, because the surface of the field may
then be left smooth. Such land will usu-
ally be found to be soft upon the top, COW
cred with a growth of sedge and other
coarse plants, and lacking a good outlet for
the water. Besides, just below the surface
there is often found a stratum of sand and
clay almost impervious to water, which
conpels all the water to flow off over the
surface, or remain where it is. 10 reclaim
such land, the first thing is to find a favor
able outflow for the water. This should
not be more than four or five feet below
the general surface of the field, but we Oft
en- have to accept such ar outlet as we can
get.-American A~gricuHurtSt.

citation to consider the proposition for the
construction of miniature park through
the center of NJ street. from Front to
Tenth, planting therein palm and other
trees, etc. called upon City Attorney Hart
yesterday morning to obtain his official
opinion on the subject. Mr.. Hart rendered
il to the effect that municipal corporations
had no power except those that the statutes
expressly confer on them, and such othei
powers that may arise by fair and necessary
complications. There is no provision in
the city charter to give the City Trustees
the power to use NJ street as proposed, and
Section 2 of the Vrcoman street law of 1895

Wanted to Re a Policeman.

Yesterday large and well-built man,
who gave his name as James L. Hender-
son, called upon Chief Dillman at the sta
tion-house and stated that he left Canada
about month ago, and went to Washing-
ton Territory for the purpose of taking up
land; but, not being successful, had made
his way to Sacramento where his wife yes
terday morning joined him. he desired
employment and, learning that the pay of
policemen was pretty good, and believing
that he had the physical qualifications
fitting him for such a position, and being
man of good moral character, he had con-
cluded to see if he could get job on the
force. He had called upon Mayor
Gregory, who gave him little en-
enlargement. The Chief was busy
just then, but told him, after few
inquiries to call at p. NJ. AT that hour
he was promptly on hand, and his re-
sponses 10 questions showed that he was
desirable man to have on the force, being
six feet in his stockings, healthy and de-
termined. He had never been examined
by physician, but felt that he was in
good health. He was asked if he was
good runner, as it was necessary for police
officers to be iieet of foot on occasion, and
modestly replied that he did not know; he
had never run much, but he thought he
was as good as The average. 1t was ar
ranged that he should be put to the test,
and officer Mclaughlin, who was repre-
sented to be the poorest sprinter of the
force, was matched against him. II he
could not beat Mclaughlin he might
as well give up all hope of being an officer
in Sacramento. They were told to run from
Front and J to the station-house. Officers
Mccormack and Able acted os starters, and
Chief Dillman and Captain Karcher as
judges at the outcome, while officer Leavy
with sponge and can of water stood
ready to assist. The candidate proved TO
be SO very lively on his pins, that Nc
Laughlin had to keep moving, and only
beat him out few yards, being under such
Roadway that he had to Jump the fences
into the grounds in front of the station
house to get room to stop. Henderson de-
clared that he could win q mile race from
him, and he might have still been con-
sidered an eligible candidate for the first
vacancy. but some one happened to think
of an insurmountable obstacle. To be a
member of the force man must be ci i
zen of the United States, and a resident of
the city for two years. Henderson was

said he would go to San Francisco, get
